This document discusses iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in children. It defines IDA as a decrease in circulating red blood cells and hemoglobin, impairing oxygen transport. Common causes of IDA in children include premature birth, cow's milk before age 1, and chronic infections. Symptoms include pale skin, fatigue, slow growth, and behavioral problems. The document examines prevalence of IDA based on socioeconomic status, medical history, and anthropometric measures. It provides recommendations to prevent IDA, such as iron supplements and including iron-rich foods in the diet. The conclusion states IDA disproportionately affects young, growth-retarded children and those in food insecure areas.

 Prevalence
 Conclusion

5.  Iron is deficiency is a
major problem world-
wide.
 It is a most commo
-n nutrient deficiency.

6.  It is a define as a decrese in concentration of
circulating red blood cell in hemoglobin and
impaired capacity to transport oxygen.
 Hemoglobin level <110GDL

7.  DEFICIENCY CAUSES:
 Babies who are born prematuraly.
 Babies who drink cow or goat milk before age
1 year.
 Breast feed babies who not have supply of
iron in age 6.
 Babies drink formula who is not formulated.
 Children who have chronic infection.

8.  Pale skin colour
 Fatigue
 Slow growth
 Poor oppetite
 Frequent infection
 Behaviour problem

9.  Socio ecnomic status
 Maternal history
 Child medical history

11.  We can prevent our child from ida as
 Full term infants :
 Give your baby iron supplement at age 4
month until heshe eating two or more
servings of iron such as fortified cereals.
 Premature infants:
 Give your baby an iron supplement at age 2
weeks continue at age of 1 year.

12.  When baby start eating solid age bw 4 to 6 month such as
cereads pureed meat and beans.
 For older children good source
of iron is red meat chicken fish
green vagetables.
 bw age 1 and 5 don’t allow
your child to drink more then 24
ounces 710 mililites of milk a day.
 Increase vitamin c in your diet
help in obsorption of iron.

14.  The prevelance of IDA among children
represent a modrate burden that
dis_proportionalty affect the youngest
,growth ,retarel ,children ,effect children are
more to have mother live in food security
areas.
